This is based on a piece I wrote for recorder (fipple flute) years ago. I always thought it sounded kind of Christmas-y. I gave it the full Aejotz treatment and I just love it to pieces. What fun this was to play.

I wrote the main melody in the 90s, I think. It was something I came up with on recorder (fipple flute). I was trying for baroque, not xmas. But when I played it on synth it sounded Christmas-y so I added jingle bells and festive accompaniment.

The jingle bells are courtesy of my Yamaha PSR-520. It's my orchestra. It has hi-fi samples of every kind of instrument. I don't use it much anymore, since I went synth-crazy. But sometimes it comes in so handy. I also use its excellent keyboard to play other instruments via MIDI. Someday I'll experiment with running the 520s sounds through synth filters.

The "drums" on my tune "martians" are from the 520. I was using full automatic band accompaniment but changed all the instruments into drums. And the calliope sound on "baloney" is actually the bottle sound from the 520 in a high register. Shh, it's a secret._________________AEJOTZ is pronounced "A-Jotz"

I have responded to my own post, again, to bring it to the top of the list, again, because it's that time of year, again.

It's time to throw this tune on the fire once again.

Wow, you're really been keeping up with one, literally for years! Those jingle bells are quite deliberate, I see, hahaha! It sounds a bit "Christmas-y"; makes me think of a holiday marchen of some sort. Either way, it's my first time hearing this one! _________________I'm an aspiring artist, and I also aspire to inspire! =D
